Marvella's Bangkok Report on United
Hallo Ladies..
Marvella is back from Bangkok...
And it was an enjoyable trip, though my frock is a little tattered after that long journey home this morning...
Kitty Meow (my partner) and I left on the 31st, we flew United San Francisco to Hongkong Non-stop, then flew Thai to Bangkok.
In San Francisco you'll never guess what we spotted, United personal in those Ugly red jackets!! Now what is going on here?, and
what has happened to those Luggage templates, we've all been warned about.?
And what's the story with those Gate Agents for the HongKong flight, take about .....y Queens...especially Ms Jackie! Won't want to cross her path, though Kitty Meow, could certainly teach her the meaning of "Cat Fight". The Flight Attendants also seemed a little unhappy to be working the flight, perhaps they'd have rather been out partying for New Years eve..
My experiences with United to Asia out of SFO are to Tokyo, where you'd never run into these kinds of unsavory workers, the Tokyo girls are usually very friendly and happy to serve you.
Lucky our flight wasn't full, so Kitty Meow and I shared 3 seats between us, so we settled in for the long 14hr+ flight.
Meal service deserves Marvella's "1 star" rating, but that mid-flight snack, cup ramen give me a break!!
United your selection of movies also leaves Marvella wondering, didn't I see "Snake Eyes and Family Trap", in September on my way home from Europe?, and United those Duty Free commercials HAVE TO GO.........corny!!!
The new Airport in Hongkong is really something to see, and the Red Carpet Club there deserves Marvella's "5 star" rating. All that space and goodies to munch on! I could have spent all day in there!
Our Thai flight to Bangkok, left promptly on time, spacious and with friendly staff. though their outfits are a little much for a 2 hour flight. For a minute there I thought I was at a Drag show in South Beach. Thai nice choice of colors for the interior, My flat has purple Drapes too.
We stayed at the Westin Banyan Tree in Bangkok, which was a fabulous hotel for the price. Executive floor, included a Marvellaelous breakfast for around 125.00USD a night. Though we did mess up, by not checking the location of the property. It was just a little to far away from all the action. You know us girls, we love to shop!! Marvella Gives the Westin "4 Stars", and maybe an extra star for the extra attention the staff gives to all it guests.
Our Flight home was long, we were scheduled BKK UA HKG UA LAX UA MIA. Our light to Hongkong was wide open, and the staff was cheerful. More then I could say for Kitty Meow, who was up at 415am with me to catch this 725am flight., we could have taken a later flight on Thai, but us girls didn't want to loose those miles!( only 50% on Thai as you all know).
Once we got to Hongkong a group of us were herded off to the United ticket counter and then advised that our flight to LAX was going to be 10 hours delayed, so they rescheduled us on the SFO flight. Or I should say the Cattle flight to SFO, talk about sardines. I could hardly fit all those souvenirs I bought for all the girls back in South Beach in the over head bin. Under the seat in front of me? I don't think so, 6" heals take up a lot of room you know!
Anyhow after a long trip back we're home......Overall we had a Fabulous Trip, though I think next time I won't be so stingy and maybe use my miles to upgrade, that is just too far to travel in economy.
Especially for Queen Marvella!
